First off, the words "you need" do not appear. It was obviously stated for comparison purposes.

Second off, we pick and choose which ratings we pay attention to here. He just chose to pick and choose different ratings than what you consider sacred.

Why, if a rim is rated 3500# on an SRW, is a rim that is the same material, same width, same diameter, de-rated to 2500# on a DRW? Seems like one of those made-up artificial "ratings" that you toss aside like used toilet paper.

No, I think we're actually using the same component, rims, as the likely limiting factor rating.
However, show me a stock or close to stock size dually tire on a OE wheel and the combo will not even be close to 3500lbs per rear tire.
More like 2910lbs per tire for stock size E load tires.
Yes, still almost 12k total for rear axle, but...you see what I mean.
And there's no "artificial de-rating" of rims on a 2500. GVW is artificially de-rated.

Regardless, 2500s and duallys are not and were not part of the OPs question.
Although this is another dead thread that the OP asked a rather cryptic question and hasn't had cause to participate further anyway, so we may as well talk about duallys or tulips, it doesn't matter.
